y'all think the part where one falls and jumps back on it's feet is part of the choreography
They were going for a drunken master motif so... Yeah probably. Which is bold to expect so few flaws that you put in a purposeful one to joke about.
Chat, are we cooked?
time to learn Chinese.
How do I say "please don't harvest my organs I am a smoked and alcoholic since the age of 11 !" In Mandarin?
you don't have to say that, the social-score app will show that to everyone who looks you up.
Well at least they seem short so we should be able to just throw them or kick them over with ease
Why do they look mocap and not robotic? Like if it's a robot, the movements should be far more efficient and literally robotic looking. This just looks like "look, we can make them execute scripted macro movements with micro auto adjustments". Which is an achievement in itself, but not exactly as advanced as this video suggests at face value. I could be wrong, but something about it feels off to me and this is just my guess as to why.
because that's what this is. Premade animations choreographed and scripted.
BUT
Do you have any idea what insane technology in soft and hardware is neccessary to make this happen?
this is beyond impressive, and China is way ahead of everyone else. Electric cars, Robotics, Renewable energy, medical research, Drone technology. The west needs to get rid of the incompetent conservatives that cling to a world that no longer exists or the west is the new third world.
Whoa what the hell, that's insane!
We really do live in the cyber punk dystopia predicted. It's just way less neon lights.
Butlerian Jihad when?
I'll fight you in that war. I'll fight for science, for better living standards, for the future, against reactionary anprims.
Are we sure this isn’t AI made video? This looks so unreal to me. Last time I saw human robots, they didn’t even go up in the staircase.
it would be very very good AI made, and i have seen those robots do these things in tech demos before, so they definitely exist.
Looks nice. Not excited to be fighting to the death on some random hill surrounded by a thousand of these.
They probably won't splurge for the emp proof coating.
We in the west don't even remember what a society can achieve without the bloodsucking billionaire parasites and shareholders siphoning off wealth. For us that would be "splurging", for less insane societies it would be common sense.
Now that's what i call a flex of your technological power between tradition and modernity. Fantastic performance.
Random thought, I know it's still better to not have wars at all, but future wars would be nicer and more fair if losing meant receiving a knock-out kick in yo nuts from a martial art master robot instead of being killed by random boring drones.
That's extremely impressive. As soon as these can do this stuff on random surfaces and with spatial awareness then we are probably past the event horizon for some significant, scary and futuristic shit.
Meanwhile teslabots can't even pour a drink
The first ever teslabot demonstration was an actual human in a costume, pretending to be a robot...
China out here with scripted robots that while not super useful can show off the limits of our technology in impressive ways.
America. Back to slavery but with a metal exterior
Lmao!
Mechatronics engineers and scifi nerds from the 90s would salivate over what's on offer in robotics today.
And NOW you can honetly say that, yes, everybody was indeed kung fu fighting.
Everything was kung fu fighting!
Once receiving the signal Chinese household robots sold to the west gonna do project atomic heart, by kicking you in the nuts.
I should watch Real Steel again.
Better at humans at fighting AND better at break dancing too!
These are copying human movements i think. But yeah, there is an attempt to make these robots look cool so humans wont resist when they patrol the streets.
At 0:32 when the robots bend their knees they all do two little hops with one foot to keep balanced, but not all robots are doing the same hop. The middle robot does two large hops whereas the left rear robot does one small hop and then only lifts his "toes".
It could be a combination of pre-programmed movements with a balancing program on top
Yeah or just multiple people controlling groups of them. Its impressive though, sure. I just hate the idea behind it - to get people to like these things.
These are copying human movements i think
You're saying that like it's not impressive even if that were true. Human motion capture can't react fast enough to loss of balance with the speed of the moves they were doing (neither can a fully pre-programmed routine with no real time processing), especially for something smaller than the human operator for which you wouldn't have the intuition of how to right it, especially with conventional motion capture that doesn't give you feedback like moving your body does (unless they built a fully featured motion capture system that's both super low latency and gives the operator complete and accurate mechanical feedback on all degrees of freedom, in which case you'd think they'd feature that more than the robots themselves because that's way more impressive.) Even if they were all piloted by humans, they're still autonomously processing all those motion inputs to be compatible with its body.
But yeah, there is an attempt to make these robots look cool so humans wont resist when they patrol the streets.
Don't worry, we'll never have this problem in the West because humans over here like being police bastards too much to let some robots take their fun away.

Most Americans would be happy if the cops just started wearing better tasting boots
Oh man can you imagine if they made a control interface fit a hamster or a lab mouse. The hilarity that would follow to have a line of these doing material arts and one just running in place and trying to stuff food in it's speaker box.
The robots staying stable and not falling over is still very impressive.
Sentdex made some videos about programming Unitree robots and it looked like absolute hell and makes this video all the more impressive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc1nhT8beTU
But will they be properly taught to harass and murder people for not being white enough?
I mean, sure, you can probably make an argument for less racism when we have robots. But still, its going to be pretty horrible for everyone.
Probably not one that stands up to scrutiny.
If they have fixed programming, the bias would be consistent, but still there, because it would be based upon systems that are already inherently bias.
Any current ML system is beholden to the data/constraints it was built with, if inherent bias exists in the data it will exist in the resulting system.
That's before you even start taking in to account the infrastructure that would be managing them being potentially corrupt or having their own interpretations of "public safety".
"These bots from are bringing in more cases against the <"good" people>, but these ones from can be tweaked to target the <"bad" people>, which of these two companies should we purchase our inventory from ?"
Did the humanoid shape gave it away? Or was it the Kung Fu?
